And so it came to be,
as the lonely girl wallowed in her sorrows,
that she realized,
hope lies within tomorrow.
Her chest ached,
weighed down with depression.
Despite her efforts to will it away,
she couldn't understand how,
for it was beyond her comprehension.
A pale hand reached out to her,
small and alone.
"Come with me," a soothing voice said,
"or can you make it on your own?"
And so it came to pass,
as she forgot about her sorrow,
that she could finally comprehend
hope lies within tomorrow.
